Review
I really love this CD.  It's one of my favorite Christmas CDs.  I love to put it on while I'm cleaning, getting ready for company or decorating.   Helps to put you in that holiday spirit and make the chores go faster.  I also love listening in the car.  The flute and bells along with the piano make it really festive!

CD Review: Norah Jones ...Featuring

 Norah Jones released a new CD on Tuesday, ...Featuring an awesome collection of her collaborations throughout her career.  It's a really great collection and really shows Norah's wide-range of musical ability.

“A lot of the people on this record are people I've worshiped since I was a kid, and some of them are younger and more my contemporaries,” says Norah. “Even though the musicians are so varied, the vibe of the songs makes sense when we put them all together.”


Songs on …Featuring range from classics recorded by Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Joni Mitchell, and Roy Orbison to new material by such wide-ranging innovators as Ryan Adams and Q-Tip.


The track listing for …Featuring is as follows:

1. Love Me – The Little Willies
2. Virginia Moon – The Foo Fighters featuring Norah Jones
3. Turn Them – Sean Bones featuring Norah Jones
4. Baby It's Cold Outside – Willie Nelson featuring Norah Jones
5. Bull Rider – Norah Jones and Sasha Dobson
6. Ruler Of My Heart – Dirty Dozen Brass Band featuring Norah Jones
7. The Best Part – El Madmo
8. Take Off Your Cool – OutKast featuring Norah Jones
9. Life Is Better – Q-Tip featuring Norah Jones
10. Soon The New Day – Talib Kweli featuring Norah Jones
11. Little Lou, Prophet Jack, Ugly John – Belle & Sebastian featuring Norah Jones
12. Here We Go Again – Ray Charles featuring Norah Jones
13. Loretta – Norah Jones featuring Gillian Welch and David Rawlings
14. Dear John – Ryan Adams featuring Norah Jones
15. Creepin' In – Norah Jones featuring Dolly Parton
16. Court & Spark – Herbie Hancock featuring Norah Jones
17. More Than This – Charlie Hunter featuring Norah Jones
18. Blue Bayou – Norah Jones featuring M. Ward



I really enjoyed ...Featuring.  I put it on while cleaning a just grooved while working around the house.  I really love " Baby it's Cold Outside" and "Take Off Your Cool."  You can connect with Norah on her official site: http://www.norahjones.com/ where you can watch videos, find tour dates and for a limited time stream ...Featuring in it's entirety.
...Featuring Norah Jones can be purchased on Norah's official site, from Amazon.com or your local retailer.

My Thoughts

I love this CD!  I listen to it in my car while I'm out running errands and what not.  It keeps me in a good mood just driving along groovin' to it.  I've also added several of the songs to my "Happy" playlist that I created as a "pick me up" for when I'm down. While KY has her own unique sound, she reminds me of several of my favorite singer/songwriters like Carole King and Tori Amos.  I especially admire artists who write their own songs.  In my opinion their music just resonates, with raw feeling and an authenticity that can't be reached by recording songs written by others.
